    We enjoyed staying at the hotel La Palapa. The hotel is in a great location right on the beach. the sunset was amazing and we could enjoy it right from our deck. The staff was great and went above and beyond to accommodate our requests.

    We liked the smooth check-in process and the Hotel has a secure place to park a car. The location is right on the beach and so was our room. The sunsets from our patio were really spectacular. Sea shells washed up on the beach and the sand...
